General election campaigning is going to re-start on Friday after a three-day pause in the wake of the Manchester attacks.

Conservatives, Labour, Greens and the Scottish National Party all announced they will restart campaigning on Thursday, but it will be kept low-key.

The national contest will be fully resumed the following day, on Friday.

Ukip became the first party to say it would resume its national campaign when Paul Nuttall announced he would be unveiling his party’s manifesto on Thursday.

Announcing Labour’s plans, leader Jeremy Corbyn said: ‘The British people are united in their resolve that terror will not prevail. It will not prevent us going about our daily lives or derail our democratic process.

Theresa May has made a statement in Downing Street following the Manchester attack. She said: 'Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims and the families and friends of all those affected.

'It is now beyond doubt that the people of Manchester and of this country have fallen victim to a callous terrorist attack, an attack that targeted some of the youngest people in our society with cold calculation.

'This was among the worst terrorist incidents we have ever experienced in the United Kingdom.'
